Here Comes The Severely Sad Music Video.

This is simply awkward but I really do not have any word to describe this music video—and this is not in the good speechless way. The song is fabulous and somehow reminds me of the 80s and 90s Malay rock ballad my older sister put on full blast through her car audio system but I could not say I like the music video. Everything looks perfect but does FNC Music really have to have FT Island rely completely on Lee Hong-ki? Not even a two second appearance by any other members? Not even just one of them to act as a passer-by in this six minutes music video? Someone should finish the ritual—every member of FT Island suffers greatly in their music video. When will it be Seung-hyun’s turn to get beaten up badly or just die in their music video?

But seriously, the song is good. I mean good as in marvellous.

This Is The Severely Teaser.

Strangely this is the first music video teaser from FT Island that does not bring out the usual respond from me. I actually manage to watch through this forty-five seconds teaser without hyperventilating or even screaming. I find my self sitting on my chair calmly and watch it until the end before I immediately click on the exit button. I mean, my calm and emotionless respond surprised me that I am completely freaked out about this change. Seriously, I was showing excessive human emotions afterward when I was watching Inu x Boku SS and Guilty Crown more.

Anyway, back to the teaser—it is finally time for FNC Music to return the rock ballad times for FT Island. I have been missing their amazing rock ballads for years—but in return FNC gave us some pop rock which I still love and all but would not even compare to how amazing their rock ballads are. I am more excited about the song rather than the music video—probably because it featured Hongki again—and sorry to say this to all Hongki’s fan but he is overrated. I mean, come on. The band has five members—is it time to feature Seunghyun and have him killed or beaten up to death. It is a ritual. But then again, I am not going to complain much.

Full music video and mini-album will come out on January 31 and the comeback performance will follow on February 2. As for all of the comments I want to say, I will keep it after I watch the full music video and hear the full song. Regardless how emotionless I become while watching this teaser, there is always a part of my heart that I dedicate for FT Island.

It Happened Again, I've Lost Count Actually.

found via what the hell
I do not quite have anything else to say because I actually do this every year for the past several years. I am practically out of words to describe my current feelings and obviously unable to sustain my irrelevant emotions. This constant disappointment perhaps has grown to be normal rather than just an abnormality most disregard. Well then, I shall direct you straight to the old post that obviously manages to describe my current feelings more precisely than any other words would right now.

You can read a harsh long rant right here or you could walk away and completely ignore the existence of this part of this post.

Before anyone actually throws hand grenades or shoots me down with a riffle let me state it right over here that yes, I do know that the overall sales counted into the votes and it is quite understandable that this eventually happened. But I have the right to say and write what ever it is that I feel like writing so yeah. It seems like none seems relevant except for my feelings. Not even yours I guess but well, I am sorry about that.

Fly High Like The Birds, FT Island.

I could not believe that I will skip class because of FT Island—the consequence of staying up pretty damn late to watch the new music video and listen to all the songs in the new remake album from FT Island make me wake up damn late to attend the morning class in college this morning. The class starts at nine and I find my self waking up at eleven. Yeah, this is like so fucking well to my upcoming grade.



Anyway, back to the original reason for this post—FT Island finally releases the music video for 새들처럼 (Like The Birds) as the title song for the remake album MEMORY IN FT ISLAND they simultaneously release on midnight of October 10.

Oh my God, what in the world is this perfection. It is not a lie that the five boys of FT Island are all pretty much perfect in their own personal way but for the sake of my fucking life—how could they become this amazingly perfect in such a short period of time. The image for the music video is so beautiful, I shed tears of happiness over this piece of perfection in three minutes and thirty seconds.

The original song is quite lovely by its own but the remake from FT Island makes the song a million times more wonderful. FT Island does all the justice in the world for this song—to be able to make an even lovelier song from a song that comes out before any of the members are actually born. This is the kind of song that sticks to your mind after just three to four times. It is smooth and upbeat, mostly a fun song to smile and dance along in whatever situation.

Have I actually mentioned how lovely Hongki sings and how it wonderfully blends in with the harmonizing raps from Seunghyun and Jaejin. I have no doubt that the three creates such a beautiful collaboration and a harmony that not all groups in this growing Korean Pop world would manage to create but this song proves that these three boys are perfect in terms of vocal.

I love how Seunghyun sounds stronger and more powerful in his rap nowadays. He sheds the image of a new member pretty well and he blends in with the flow of the music just perfectly. He raps smoothly in this song and makes a nice collaboration with Jaejin. Jaejin—he has such wonderful voice that it makes me want to cry every time he manages to have parts in songs to sing. He is good in the terms of vocal but his rap talent is incredibly good. As for Hongki—come on, do I really have to say anything about this powerful vocalist with his incredible vocal. His voice is distinctive and very powerful, he makes this song wonderful.

FT Island does justice for all the songs they remake, unlike some.

The music video, again—it is beautiful in terms of the cinematography and the colors and the overall video. It does not have an obvious storyline—or maybe not obvious enough for me except that five boys having a ride on a Jeep which a drummer kid drives while dancing randomly before they begin to run wildly across this empty desert and ends up with their instruments and mysterious sets of spotlights that appear out of nowhere. I am not the Director but I like this concept because it gives a free spirit sense to whoever watches it. Putting aside the usual heavily dramatic and emotional music video from FT Island—lets count the time we cry at the music videos of Until You Return or maybe Heaven and even the oblivious storyline of Hello Hello—this actually gives the boys of FT Island a bright and light environment, probably similar to how they are in the music video of I Hope but minus the romantic time travelling storyline. It is fun and light and makes whoever watches it want to join in the fun. Well, I know I want to be a part of that fun music video.

I do not give a damn about the controversial Jeep or anything. I only pay attention to the great music video and the song itself. As for the boys of FT Island—well, they are like the cherries on top of my favorite sundae. They give perfection and satisfaction, all in the same time—to my ears and my eyes.

What makes this music video fun is the fair share of camera time on each member—this time we could not see too much Hongki like how it is in the music video of Love Love Love or too little time of guitarist Jonghoon like in Hello Hello. We have ample close-ups shots for each member—with an exception of Hongki who of course snags most but who is going to complain anyway—and we have the opportunity to enjoy a solo guitar riff from leader guitarist. All fan-girls will not be able to complain anything now.

We have many eye candy moments to share around.

Most fan-girls and that includes me, probably miss the time when FT Island comes out with heavy dramatic and emotional music videos that make us cry and want to kill someone or just simply cut our wrist in exasperation—watching the boys severely beaten or just simply killed off by some villain we still have vengeance on—but to have a space to breath and just have fun in music videos are actually quite fun. The only time we manage to see them brightly smile or jumping around like the kids they will always be are probably in their Japanese music videos—the overdose of jump scenes in Let It Go and the swag moments in Flower Rock, who could forget. I give out my compliment to the director for this chance for the members to just let go and be free to have fun in this music video.

Yes, I have listen to all five songs in the remake album and yes, I have already point out my favorites. I do not know if I will have the time to write a review on each song but I guess it will probably happen within this week. I am not quite sure about the first comeback performance from FT Island—whether they will appear on MNET M!Countdown or not but I certainly know that they will perform on SBS Inkigayo on Sunday.

With the upcoming comeback from the girl group I still refuse to write in my blog because on certain reasons that piss me off big time and Secret—my new favorite girl group—I surely do hope that FT Island will eventually win something on music show charts. I miss the time when they have the chance to say out their acknowledgement upon a victory. Korean music world needs something that branches out from their usual Korean Pop bubblegum pop songs with dance moves that has somehow bore me—like the music from a band like FT Island. FT Island deserves to win. They deserve to win more than anyone else and I am sorry to say this to fans of other groups but they really need to win. FT Island needs to win.

Anyway, I need to perform my prayer right now. I will get back into considering the review on MEMORY IN FTISLAND soon. In the mean time, let us all pray that FT Island will have a huge success with this remake album. FT Island, all the best.

FT Island Says, "Like The Birds".

Oh shit, thank you FNC Music for actually giving me a reason to update my dying blog. And yes, thank you the five boys of FT Island for making me want to write about your perfection again. Yes everyone, it is finally the time of the year—the time when I died, and came back to live, died again and still, return into the world of the living for the greatness of FT Island has shown.



FT Island is set to make a comeback after months of hiatus since their last release of mini-album Return, on October 10th. The band of five gorgeous members will release a remake album—Memory In FT Island—on October 10th and the teaser for the title song, 새들처럼—translated as Like The Birds—has been released on October 7th.

And yes, allow me to shine some light upon this perfect fifty-three seconds teaser. Dear every other entertainment companies out there—yes, I am talking to each and every one of you—please take example of how amazing FNC Music does with the teaser for their artists. They do not put in something that will ridiculously disappear in the main music video, some random music bits that does not even have anything to do with the original song. Learn how to tease properly like FNC Music does.

Good job, FNC Music. That was one hell of a perfect teaser that literally tease.

Next, let us talk about how gorgeous the boys look in the teaser. Song Seunghyun my dear, I know I practically want to kill someone when I saw your current hairstyle previously but now that I managed to accept with an open heart, I think it suits you perfectly. This goes to all of the members—Hongki, your curly hairstyle receives two thumbs up from me, don’t worry. As for Jaejin, I am so freaking thankful you cut it shorter. Even if it is still blonde, I like it. Leader Jonghoon, why do you always look ridiculously perfect? Please don’t ruin my bias list. And hey youngest Minhwan, God you look awesome.

Anyone wants to join in the troll session as I can’t get over Minhwan driving the jeep?

The song is a remake of a 1988 song by Byun Jisup. Yes, I have heard the original song and yes, it was amazing. But it was in a slower tone. FT Island just made it into a song worth the head-bang and the dorky dance. Yes, it worth destroying that controversial jeep. I don’t see the harm in it. Mr. Jeep Owner, you are a big time troll.

I still could not figure out a storyline, basically just a music video about a group of five boys cynically vandalize a jeep in the middle of the dessert while throwing random music notes and dance around like monkeys before they find their place with the spotlights and instruments to rock their heart out. Okay there dear Mr. Director, I see what you have there.

Now I demand the full music video to be released now.

How am I supposed to go through until October 10th without constantly raping the replay button on YouTube? I don’t feel like doing anything else and thank God it is already Friday here in Malaysia and the weekend is coming. I am going to continuously die with this teaser.

And hey, if there are news about how other artists are avoiding making comebacks in the same month as the girl group I refuse to mention in my blog because on some particular reasons is also making the so-called epic comeback this month, I can see that FNC Music does not fear this. FT Island is still going to release their album, may come whatever in their way.

It is not about the winnings on weekly music shows or the CD sales that matter, it is the gift they want to give to their fans and the music they want to do. I don’t give a fuck if they do not win anything. All I ever care is that FT Island is making a comeback. My whole family will have the weekly dose of FT Island on television with this comeback. Wait until I tell my mother, she will completely freak out.

The full music video is set to release on October 10th, along with the remake album.

Now, it is time to beg my mother to lend me some money to get this into my collection.

Final Examination Took This Weekend Away.

found via Rich World Problem
I am sorry for the lack of updates recently. I know I will usually insert some lame excuses here—come to blame my internet connection or probably some lousy assignments that take up half of my time every day or maybe something else that will always bothers me, all the time—but I am going to skip that part and jump straight into the conclusion where I will usually state, this is when I need to announce my disappearance.

For this, I gladly blame the final examination which starts unfortunately, today. Out of all the days through the week, I have to force my self to drag my lazy ass to college and sit for my first final examination question paper on a freaking Sunday. Oh well, there goes my lovely weekend.

I am going to sit for my Feature Writing at one this afternoon so please, if you are reading this—of which I horribly think not—please send me all the good luck wishes that I need to at least do well on this paper. I need lots of luck and perhaps bits of fairy dust. I need magic.

The other two final examination papers—which are for Academic Reading and Writing and Critical and Creative Thinking will be on Tuesday and Thursday respectively before I amazingly begin my awesome semester break that will last until September 11. I fucking love my love; this is with an obvious sarcastic tone.

Anyway, since today is the birthday of my husband no, scratch that—since today is the birthday of the 16-dimensional face behind the amazing Good Morning Bob series, Song Seunghyun of FT Island—I am here to humbly wish this one hell of a perfection, Happy Birthday. Oh God, only God knows how much love I have for this amazing guitarist. Anyway Seunghyun, have fun on your birthday as Hongki already mentioned that your birthday cake will be on the stage during your concert today. I will definitely find my way to meet you one day, so prepare yourself for this crazy fan of yours. Happy birthday again, Seunghyun—and oh, do not forget to eat a lot and put some weight into your thin figure.

Okay, I am done with this nonsense. I am off to take a bath and pretend to memorize my notes. I still hope I could do well—if not well, at least able to answer all question before I could storm out from the examination room. Dear God, help me out. Dear people of Blogger world who I never know but yet still care to mention here, wish me luck.

We Are Definitely Not Rockstars, Honey.

found via favim.com
It is not peculiar to say that I am crazy about a band with five freaking handsome members from South Korea who mainly assume that they are practically doing rock music although I could not completely consider their music in South Korea as rock but as pop rock or rock ballad. Whereas, if they are categorizing their music in Japan as rock, I completely agree—come and kill me, I do not care because listen to Let It Go or Flower Rock, even stupid people could say that are rock songs.

However, it is a bit peculiar for me to say that I am a fan of rock music. I do not really like rock music as an overall—I could not like the genre of music as an entire genre—and perhaps I have the least rock songs on both my Windows Music Player and my mp3 player.

I know I might scare someone out there—some friends or not—if I confess that I am a fan of My Chemical Romance and Panic! At The Disco.

The real problem here is not that whether I love or detest rock music. I like bands—I mainly like people who are able to perform and play their own music rather than just writing and composing it—and most of my attention in bands music is referring to the fact that I am a completely bias and die hard fan of that Five Treasure Island. But I would not tolerate if someone—cough, that someone actually refers to a friend who considers her self without my acknowledgement as my best friend, cough—tells me that I know nothing about rock music and talks badly about my favorites when I do not do any harm against her favorites.

Here is the deal, I have my own list of favorites and she has her own list of favorites. I do not care if she says she is a die hard fan of any rock bands because I would not care. I do not even bother to judge her because everyone has personal favorites. I respect her favorites and I will accept it with an open heart, God blesses my soul.

It just happens that she starts to get on my nerve—by judging me for the music I listen to. First, if she considers her self as my best friend—although I am not doing the same, because I do not need a friend like her, even more a best friend—she will not once talks badly about my Five Treasure Island. No, do not do that. I will definitely kill her, I mean it seriously. There is no need to say that my favorite band is no better than anyone else in the world of Korean pop. That is enough, I mean it literally. I do not need a friend—even if it is only her who assumes that—to say bad things about the vocalist and criticizes the songs from that band.

Now, I really need her to shut her mouth or else I will definitely murder her, chops her body and throws bits of it into some river and let her death unknown to the entire world.

I could take it if she hates the band I like but I do not need her to continuously talk about it. Never will I talk badly about the girl group she incredibly admire—cough, that girl group with so many members who are basically so popular I would not care about it anymore, cough—even when I completely detest that group. I will not try to do something that would somehow hurt her. But does it necessary for her to hurt me by talking badly about my bias? It is really necessary?

Now, as if it is not complete by just talking badly about my first bias, she continues to bash my favorites bands—My Chemical Romance and Panic! At The Disco. Oh girl, she is going way too far that I might one day kill her. Listen here, I have listen to My Chemical Romance way longer than the period she takes to listen to her favorite bands. I am a fan of My Chemical Romance since high school and I have listen to band music way longer than she does. She does not have the rights to criticize my favorites.

She says she likes rock music, okay—I am actually quite fine with that. But is she really does likes rock music, would it be more appropriate if she says she listens to some real rock bands—I do not know, maybe Scorpions (it is a bit more older than our generation but hey, the music is amazing that no argument is relevant when it comes to the scorpions) or maybe Thirty Seconds To Mars (could I say that this band is slowly making its way into my favorite lists for its amazing songs and music videos) or perhaps Linkin Park (my all-time favorite since high school, the years I spend screaming my heart out to all of its incredible songs) or something even more moderate like Simple Plan (ah yes, the times I consider my self as a fan, those times are the best still in my memory) and if she could listen to Tokio Hotel, Paramore or even the all-time Nirvana, that would be even better.

It is rather obvious that my interpretation of rock music is way different than her interpretation of rock music. Well, she does listen to that one band just because she is in love—maybe—with one of its member.

If I choose to listen to rock, I will choose a real rock band. I will choose a music that really reflects rock—hard and loud guitar riffs, songs that make me want to bang my head onto the wall or just scream my heart out—rock songs that are sort of like that. If I listen to something lighter, I will admit I am a fan of pop rock or rock ballad.

It still hurts to listen to her words and feel like murdering her every time she brags about her favorites yet criticizes my favorites. I am a pretender; I am good in putting up a façade to lie. I am still going a good job because she still thinks I am not harm to her life. Well, we will see up until where this will take me, girl.

And now, I am off to bang my head onto the wall with some My Chemical Romance previous hits. I still love all of its songs—even after so many years of becoming a fan. And perhaps after that, to soothe my aching heart, I will give my self a plentiful dose of some lighter rock by FT Island. I need some rock ballads, those songs will never do any harm into my life.

This Time, Let It Go.

According to my pessimistic side, it seems like FNC Music is trying to squeeze every fan of FT Island out of money by the end of this year with all these continuous releases—not that I am here to actually complaint about it—but considering the previous releases that I have not yet been able to actually buy, I might as well be homeless and moneyless for all these good releases by my favorite band.

Okay, enough about that. Let us all refer to the nice video I attached to this post.

It has only been a month or slightly more since the previous release, Hello Hello—but the fabulous Five Treasure Island is off to release yet another amazing release. This time, the five boys of FT Island are going to release Let It Go—yes, another Japanese single. The thirty seconds teaser for the upcoming release is out and fans are allowed to hyperventilate. Please do, I have already did my part.

Why does this bring so many memories of Flower Rock and Brand New Days? Do not get me wrong, I love their Japanese releases but nothing beats their debut single, Flower Rock. I am still in love with every bit of that rock song. Let It Go brings back that rock feelings, I feel as if I want to jump along, even just through the thirty seconds teaser. The Japanese record label does not actually give interesting storyline to the music videos by FT Island but beggars can’t be choosers. I will take whatever they are going to give.

I am a happy fan as long as the song and the music video have enough ear and eyes candies.

God, the boys have killer schedules. They are off to perform their Goodbye Stages this week on all music shows and will begin the Summer Tour in Japan for one whole month. In the same time, they will release Let It Go, and of course will go on some promotional work. In August, they will be back with a concert in South Korea—although I am still taking this is as a rumor—and probably an Asian Tour, of which, my pessimistic side still say that Malaysia will definitely be off the list—again.

FT Island, do you think you do not have enough fans in Malaysia?

Anyway, let us all have our fingers cross for the wish to actually happen. I am going to sell my brain to see FT Island live in concert. Yes, I will do that without hesitation. As for now, let us all pray for FT Island—for their health and for their success. It does not matter if they do not win first place in any music shows in South Korea, we all know Japan loves our FT Island. Let them kill the Oricon chart this time, God blesses them.

This Crazy Life, My Crazy Life.

I don’t know which one is crazier—the fact that I have classes to attend for five days in a week from Monday to Friday or the fact that I have no more time to give my self a proper rest that I will eventually fall asleep while standing up during the ride back home through the LRT train. Okay, I officially announce that my life is completely crazy as soon as I started this forth semester in college.

The torturing wait at the administrative counter has blissfully ended. I walked away from the hell hole with a schedule that made my stomach twisted into a tight knot and my head spun like a top. You have got to be kidding me—I have classes on every freaking day through the weekdays. That is like going to work, as if I love my college so freaking much that I have to come to this hell hole every day. The only good thing in this matter is that this forth semester is a short semester—I could assume this hell-hole ride will end shortly. Let us all have our fingers crossed for that, shall we?

I am still drafting my daily schedules—take the LRT train back home, wait patiently for the bus to arrive at the LRT station, hitch a ride on the local bus to the nearest stop to my neighborhood, and walk like an idiot through the lonely path into my neighborhood with heavy heart. Would someone actually shoot me to death if I do not die of naturally by the end of this month, please? Please make it less painful as I have already live through one painful life for twenty years.

I need to get my self a pair of freaking good shoes for all those walks I am going to go through. Someone please buy me more clothes because to actually go to college for five days a week eventually made me wear all those clothes in my wardrobe. I do not want to be that nerd girl who wears the same clothes every week, seriously. Please buy me a better bag—a bag I could fit all of my necessities—my laptop, my purse, my notes, my pencil case, my mp3 player, my headphone, my other stuffs and if possible, a guitarist with red pants and an alter ego by the name Bob would be nice. Bob, get into my bag. Or if it is possible, get into my bedroom and stay there. Yes, you should stay. I am locking the door, Bob. Wait a minute, what the hell am I talking about right here?

But seriously, I need a freaking guitarist from the Five Treasure Island who sexily wears red pants and live inside a hole with his guitar and sometimes talk random English to be in my life—in my bedroom, right this instant.

Oh God, I do not even have time for my treasure boys anymore. I have limited time to access the Internet, even more to do what I do the best—becoming a fan-girl. I could no longer scream at my laptop screen upon watching videos of the boys. I do not save tons of pictures into my folders anymore. I do not hug my pentastick to sleep any night anymore (okay, I am being exaggerative, I do not do that). What hurts even more is that they are ending their promotion so damn soon. What the hell, FNC Music. They are only back for a month and now you are sending them back for a Japanese summer tour? Why do you FNC people love Japan so freaking much? I need my treasure boys in South Korea, idiots. I do not want them to go on tour and end their Hello Hello promotion so freaking fast. My mother needs her dose of Hello Hello every week. My nephews need their Hello Hello dosage every week too. What the hell, just make them Japanese already if you are forever taking them there. Japan, I envy you.

I miss that time when my Tumblr dashboard almost breaks because of FT Island when they released the music video teaser and the music video itself. Where have those precious times gone?

I need to get my allowance faster—I have Return mini-album and the Beautiful Journey DVD to buy as soon as possible. I could no longer wait for anything else. College is catching up to my life and if I lose this battle, I will lose my pride as a loyal fan girl of FT Island. I am going to die. Come on life; just give me a chance to be my self again. I will not ruin my life, but reality is possibly ruining mine.

Comeback Performance One, Flawless.

I HAVE NO WORDS TO SAY EXCEPT TO TYPE IT ALL OUT IN CAPS LOCK TO EXPRESS MY EXCITEMENT OVER THE COMEBACK PERFORMANCE OF THE FLAWLESS FIVE TREASURE ISLAND. I DO NOT CARE IF YOUR BIAS IS BETTER THAN MINE, I DARE TO SAY MY BIAS IS HUNDRED TIMES BETTER THAN YOURS. ALL FIVE MEMBERS SANG, MY LIFE IS PERFECT, GOD. FT ISLAND, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE WORLD SUCH A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A REASON TO LISTEN TO YOUR WONDERFUL MUSIC, THANK YOU.

Choi Jonghoon, Lee Hongki, Lee Jaejin, Song Seunghyun and Choi Minhwan; thank you for being such perfections. I do not care if I have to wave my pentastick sadly at home and watch the comeback performances one hour late, or I have to spend three days away from the Internet and miss three of your upcoming comeback performance, I just want to thank you for this wonderful experience you are giving me as a fan.

Hello Hello is such a flawless performance, I could not even find a word to describe it. FNC Music, thank you for making the boys of FT Island perfect. God, thank you for creating such perfect five human beings in this world. FT Island, thank you for the good music and the fan service. I will go and have my vacation in bliss right now.



I AM STILL GOING TO USE CAPS LOCK TO EXPRESS MY EXCITEMENT OVER THIS AMAZING PERFORMANCE. I STILL DO NOT CARE IF ANYONE ELSE IS BASHING OR HATING THEM, FIVE TREASURE ISLAND IS THE BEST. GO TO HELL, HATERS. THEY ARE AMAZING AND US PRIMADONNAS KNOW THAT THEY WILL BE AMAZING FOREVER. YOU GUYS A PERFECT, PERIOD. ENOUGH CAPS LOCK, THANK YOU FOR THE PERFECTION. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE, GOD BLESS MY SOUL.

I am off to my vacation in bliss and calm right now.

Everybody Say Hello, Hello, Hello.

BREATHING AND BEING ALIVE ARE IRRELEVANT, THE AWESOME BOYS OF FT ISLAND ARE BACK WITH HELLO HELLO.

I have died, got back to life, died again and was revived just in time to make this update. My favorite boy band has finally returned with such an amazing comeback song, Hello Hello.

FNC Music, although I am expecting the amazing guitar riffs in this song and music video, I am completely grateful that for once, you managed to give an amazing song to the most amazing boy band I ever encounter in my life. I mean, I love this song to bits. The lyrics and the rhythm—they are no longer just another boy band with mellow ballads. They start to sound darker and more into the rock genre, finally.

Although, I do not mind if they take out the bridge part, the one that goes everybody say because it sounds so much like their junior counterpart. I mean, the whole sound is totally different from their junior counterpart but that particular bridge makes them similar. I love FT Island sound, it is more define and sounds rock better than the junior counterpart but the bridge makes it all similar. The bridge however, could act as a fan service—imagine how the fan chant will be—it will be awesome. The verses are amazing—remind me more of My Chemical Romance, but slightly lighter. The chorus is well made; it got stuck easily and easy to remember.

The music video however, I am still in the process of interpreting it into my own understanding. You are allowed to share your opinions about it though. I am guessing that Hongki died, trying to save the rest of the band. But I am not sure, it sort of feels like a déjà vu or an imagination. Or is it the other way around, the four of FT Island died and the vocalist is outside, watching.

But oh my God, no one has ever look as sexy as Seunghyun in a tight red pants. And there is a goat on the fire truck, Jaejin—who sits there amidst of a fire like a boss. There needs to be more Jonghoon and Minhwan though, I mean—look at Jonghoon’s guns. Since when does he have such great guns, I am drooling over it. I dare to say this Hello Hello era is the best era for the five boys of FT Island. No disastrous hair and even the blonde ones look good. I love the styles they are putting on, a bit more stylish that before. They should keep this look for a very long time, I approve.

I love the cinematography of the music video and the creativity too, congratulation Mr. Director. I love the appearance of all ethnicity in this music video too—I mean, I see Caucasians, Asians, et cetera. If you wondering where they are filming the music video—and if you answer New York, you are wrong—they did it all in South Korea itself. I saw a picture of the filming site on DCGallery. They manage to fool you with the New York Fire Department, Flaxton Street.

I am willing to break my piggy bank to buy RETURN mini-album because the songs are amazing, all of it. There are no mellow ballads, just upbeat, rock songs with a sweet sound tune among the five songs. I am going to break my head to get my hands on the mini-album.

The Return of The Five Treasure Island, Almost.

And you are expecting me to actually study diligently for my final examinations—well, I am proud to say that you are all just absolutely wrong. How am I supposed to focus on my studies when I have difficulties in breathing upon what happens to be the most hyperventilating forty-six seconds in my life, seriously.

Congratulations FNC Music, you have successfully teased all fan girls of FT Island around the world, you probably has no idea that some of us just have our brains exploded due to the excitement.

I approve this instrumental teaser and I double approve the hotness that goes along with it—I mean, what will be better than the boys of FT Island to be good boys turn bad boys. Honestly, who does not need a dose of those delicious music and overly dramatic music videos nowadays. I need those and much more, like freaking right now.

All hail the comeback of the black nail polish.

Dear Song Seunghyun, I do approve you and your red pants. Yes, you have heard me right; I approve you in this music video. All I need now is the full music video, because I am already hyperventilating over the reality that this music video might just have dramatic storyline—and yes, I need that instantly. I am anticipating a rap to be inserted somewhere along the song, yes please.

This is an eye rape—if that is even a word—and the song will soon be an ear rape.

Right now, I could not think straight. FT Island boys made me says the weirdest things—they bring out the eccentric vocabularies I own.

Okay, I need to get back to study—although it is three in the morning here in my place. I could not concentrate, because all I could think about is how long will it takes to be on the May 24. FT Island, I need you right now.

I am already molesting the refresh and replay button, to think about the full music video to release on May 24—I might just rape my own computer that day.

This Is Hardly A Farewell Letter.

I am not in the mood to blog lately—despite that I have lots of things I want to say and rant out. I mean, this has been one hell of a month, seriously. I am just too lazy to take my expressions into words. I am just plain lazy, it is that easy.

I do not like to give indefinite hiatus, with the final examination going on right now and my job as a loyal fan girl to FT Island is just about to start on its full mode once the music video teaser releases tonight before midnight—but here I am, apologizing for the lack of updates.

Probably some time next week, as soon as I finish my final examination and gets into a full mode of a fan girl for the comeback of what seems to be the best idol band in the whole wide world—or probably just to me—I will try to give my self a proper update. I am such a nutcase, a lazy one too.

I should start to revise my notes or at least pretend to study for the papers tomorrow, instead of squealing like a maniac, hyperventilating over the comeback of FT Island with four more hours to wait until the release of the music video teaser. FNC Music, f8ck you if you ruin my favorite idol this time. Excuse me for my words. Do not ruin my high expectation for my treasure island, FNC Music. I will seriously go on a killing spree if the song is not good enough or the music video is not as how I expect it to be. Don't you even dare, FNC Music.

Five Treasure Island And Its Satisfaction.

This is actually a surprise—FT Island has releases the music video for their latest Japanese single, Satisfaction on April 5. I remembered that the teaser was released just a little less than a week ago. Anyway, I am not going to complain about it because I like my satisfaction to be sent in early too.




The slow-motions scenes in the music video of Satisfaction must have been the slowest yet the best slow-motions scenes I have even encounter in my life. These slow-motions scenes give a fan girl the perfect moments to stare at the perfections of these five gorgeous boys. Although I have to unwillingly agree that the music video is a bit dull and slightly too simple, but—God saves me—the boys have never look as awesome as they are in any other music video but this one.

Satisfaction—the song is a better improvement than their last Japanese single, So Today—which has to be my least favorite Japanese single from them since their major debut in 2010. I am sorry but I don’t really have So Today as my daily dose of FT Island. I would skip that song most of the time, sorry. But this has a nice anime feeling to it and considering that it is an ending theme for an anime currently, who would argue about that. I love the amazing beat and the flow of the song from its beginning to its end. One thing I particularly like about Satisfaction that it has fair flow of the voices from amazing vocalist Hongki, Jaejin and my absolute bias Seunghyun. I like his rap parts; it adds some edge and funkiness to this song. It gives somewhat an energetic feel to it.

I do not do Japanese translation because I have ditch my Japanese lesson years ago so I will not complain much about the lyrics. Based on observation though, I hear not much of English words but the word Satisfaction in the rap part. I like that it does not have some random English lyrics here and there (in reference of Flower Rock and my favorite Brand New Days).

As for the appearance and the eye candies of the music video, I would have to say that this has to be the most normal yet absolutely amazing appearances of the boys of FT Island that I have ever see. I like this, simple yet it brings out the awesomeness of each member. Although I am missing the blonde on Seunghyun lately, I could not agree more than his current black makes him looks younger by five years. I love his blue jacket, someone please buy one for me. I also like what leader Jonghoon is wearing, it brings out the leader charisma—of which I do not know why I feel it that way. I approve Hongki and his hair, with no extra rant attach.

Jaejin makes putting on a jacket looks so amazingly sexy in the slow-motion scene. It is not easy to make something easy looks sexy but Jaejin pulls it off. I was staring at the screen of my laptop like crazy over the slow-motion scenes. I already expect Seunghyun to do something no one else will—jumping. But hey, he must be the coolest person to jump and looks good simultaneously in a slow-motion shot. Good job, my favorite guitarist. One thing to rant though is the lack of drummer Minhwan and Jonghoon in this amazing music video. Come on, directors tend to have this flaw from one music video to another. Why can’t you satisfy all us fan girls?

Now that I am complete head over heels for this song, I am considering the option of buying the single. Although with the news that FT Island is going to release a Japanese full album—with their previous hits and new song s include in May—I am also thinking about just buying the full album instead. But if I could stare at the perfect album cover of Satisfaction all day long like an insane fan, why would I take the time to wait anyway? I believe FT Island will have it big with Satisfaction, now that it reflects their awesomeness plus it is featured as the ending theme for anime Toriko. Good publicity never hurts, and they are awesome in their own ways anyway.

This Satisfaction, Sweetheart.

I feel like a freaking proud mother and this ending theme gives me the most satisfying one minute off my plain and dull life, period. This one-minute tune is going to be hummed by me all the time from now on until its release.

How a Resurrection Really Feels.

Practically, it seems like I am slowly losing my designing skills. With the assignments that are continuously making me wish that I have more than just twenty-four hours in one day—it is actually quite impossible for me to keep on designing, to improve my lack of grandeur in my poor designing skills. I have not use Adobe Photoshop for such a long time. I try to become good friends with GIMP and PhotoScape but either work well with me.

However, I assumed that I still have a little of those skills. I successfully designed a soda can with my own brand as the first assignment for Principle of Advertising class. I did not think that I have done a magnificent job but at least I still have a little longing towards my forgotten desire of becoming a graphic designer in an advertising agency. I can still do this—although not as good as my graphic design's friends—but at least it was presentable.


Who would have thought that having a plentiful collection of FT Island's pictures would aid me through the process of designing the soda can for my assignment. It was actually an idea proposed by my mom after she watched me designing the soda can in my room. Truthfully, I would love to have a soda brand by the name of FT-Fresh and have the whole FT Island—not just Hongki as presented on the soda can—to endorse my soda. Although his appearance on the soda can did raise several question among the classmate who did not know who he is.

I have started to draw and illustrate again lately. I am spending a little more time to become good friend with my dearest sketch book—who now loyally occupies my bag that I bring to college everyday. I am drawing discreetly in the library, like a geek. I like this though. I like it a lot.

Life From This Point On.

Yes—I do realize that there has been a lack of movements around this boring blog for the past ten days. This actually happen to the fact that I am depending on the free wireless connection I am currently using which sometimes disappears from the view, thus I could not connect to the internet. I have also been terribly busy with college—now that assignments are stacking up high like a mountain literally and schedules are driving me crazing. I am also pretending to be busy with my life by doing this and that, including spending one whole sleepless day due to finish my assignments that should be submitted to take off the NC status off my result. Fortunately, I have successfully sent that freaking assignment this morning so, end of story. By the upcoming Friday, I will be facing my biggest fear of the year—sitting for my driving test to get my self a driving license. I feel like a freaking retarded for still not be able to drive well when everyone else seems to have been enjoying the life as a driver. God blesses my life.

I am also amazingly down with cold right now so I am silently cursing the fact that I can't breath properly. I followed my mom and dad to the market this morning and ended up with a cut on my finger which hurt like hell sometimes. Right now, I have two wounded fingers, thus I am typing in such an awkward condition. I am working hard to publish my fan fiction again in either two main fan fiction websites despite my hectic routines too. I am getting close to a friend of whom share the same passion as mine and I like this friendship we have. Keep this going on, and I will improve my current social life. I am almost broke thus I have to starve almost every day but I am looking at this as a chance to go on a diet—an unhealthy one of course.

In less than a week without wireless connection, I found out that FT Island has tons of news about them in the internet. Hongki to appear as the male lead in a Japanese drama—which actually makes me giggled like a crazy fan girl at college upon knowing this through the Twitter application on my mobile phone. Even more, FT Island will perform the theme song of the drama so cheer for new songs. More surprisingly, cheesy leader Jonghoon is also set to make his acting debut in a movie based on a Japanese manga—staring next to only the two of my favorite actor and actress of all time, Jang Geunseok and Kim Haneul. I am still a freaking happy fan girl. My bias, Seunghyun and Minhwan graduated from high school—looking all mighty handsome and made me wondered why on earth did I not attend the same high school as them although that is rather impossible. Congratulation. Jaejin—well, all I know his picture of him sleeping with a guitar did make it to the news so, well done I think. Nice to see nice updates, will be waiting for their future releases.

In the end, as a conclusion—my life has not yet been wonderful but it still quite stressful. I am going to have lesser updates, now that the wireless connection is obviously only available on weekends. I will post useful posts again, please don't curse me. I am innocent, or so I believe I am. God blesses this poor miserable soul.

Brand New Days, Sweetheart.

Sweet holiday season has successfully (and unfortunately, unwillingly) ended and it is time for me to drag my lazy self back to college to make a fresh new start for the third semester of my second year in college. Seriously, I am forcing myself to go back. I mean it. I detest every single detail about my third semester—make it in every single aspect about my college life right now.

As usual, the relationship between both me and the administration counter is always tense. Even after third semester in my second year, we have not built any kind of chemistry between us. I still so freaking hate you, administration department, thank you very much. Students have been crowding the administration department thanks to the oh-so-wonderful management. Congratulations on the new records, students are sitting on the floor waiting for their turn to meet the unfriendly administrations’ staffs. I still hate you.

I have five freaking subjects this semester—two of them are missing in action from my schedule. English for Specific Purpose (UFS201) has successfully started but unfortunately, they are giving me Mr. Bala—who taught me back in first semester. I have to listen to his entire nag and talk about this and that. He is still not over the fact that none of us really like to speak English all the time.

News Writing class has not started because well, the class was empty last time I checked. No lecturer, no students. Wow, talk about a good way to start a semester. And this is how the college expect us to excel in our examinations? Way to go, people. Next class will be on Thursday and it will be Reporting. No clues about my other two class. I don’t want to drag my self into the crowd in front the administration department anymore.

Today—since there are no classes—I went to deposit RM140 to buy the FT Island’s DVD concert that I have been dreaming about since last year. I am also buying together a Pentastick after four years of being a loyal fan of the band. How awesome am I to do that? I went shopping alone for a while after depositing the money and bought a fabric dye—in the color of yellow—of which my mom taught I was going to dye everything white that I own into yellow. I am not that crazy. Overall, I have amazingly spent RM160 in one particular day in less than three hours. Gosh, I am scaring my self.

While paying a visit to the bookshop in the shopping mall, I quietly made my way into the art section. I managed to fit in there, to have the feeling that everything in there fit me perfectly. I went to search for some acrylic paint and considering the prices, maybe next time. I was thinking about getting some brushes and oil paint but I think I should start with something basic. But God, I was silently screaming in excitement when I see all those beautiful poster colors. I want to buy them all. I should pay a visit to the regular art supplies’ shop near my old college to buy these stuffs because they are still so awesome in my eyes.

My older sister is begging my parents to go for another holiday vacation during the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, considering that all of us are going to enjoy another sweet one week holiday. My parents seemed to have taken her words into consideration because up until now, my mom kept asking, “Where would you want to go this upcoming holiday?”. I don’t know, maybe just staying at home?

Greetings From The Historical City of Malacca.

My family and I have successfully arrived in Malacca earlier today and we had the most enjoyable journey ever. We kept on laughing like four people on some kind of school trip and we told silly jokes to each other until we laughed so hard, I have tears in my eyes—okay, the tears might have been due to the fact that I have some sort of eyesore.




We are currently staying in a boutique hotel—not that I have any idea what the hell a boutique hotel is but it has become a trend here in this historical town—called Arenaa De Luxe Hotel. Fortunately, this hotel is freaking stylish and awesome. The interior is just too amazing for words. It is chic and stylish. Our suites are in the third floor, both facing the main road in front of the hotel. I love my suite too much, we have to extend our stay until tomorrow. This hotel is too amazing, except for the location. It is quite a distant away from the center of the city but it is still nice. You can arrive at Padang Pahlawan in less than fifteen minutes for sure.

I have become my family's official photographer thus I am not in most of the photos we took around Malacca today. I thought I wanted to upload some but seeing the dimensions of those photos in the DSLR freaks me out big time. I will do so eventually just not now. I am facing the flat screen TV inside my suite while my younger sister lazying lying on the bed reading her romantic novel. I have no idea what my parents are doing in the suite opposite mine but I don't really want to know.

We have so much fun today—although the streets are confusing both my dad and I but we are managing it. We have some help from the oh-so-useful uncle Google and the awesome maps my dad snatched from work. So far, this trip has been a fun ride. I am anticipating tomorrow. Got to wait and see what my dad has in his plan tomorrow.


On another good news, congratulations to my favorite FT Island for winning the Bonsang Award on the High1 Seoul Music Awards recently. I am so freaking happy for the win but not so happy regarding the mini drama before their performances. Song Seunghyun, you are way too young to hug some random noona and lands your cute face onto the back of her head like some kind of creeper. Although, I don't mind you do that to me.

Good Morning, Gorgeous.

This must have been one of the best first day of January ever in my life. Picture this in your wild imagination—breaking into FT Island's house to find Hongki sleeping without his pants, and shirtless Minhwan sleeping on the same bed with Seunghyun who is also not wearing any pants. Okay, enough with the imagination.

I must be one of the happiest fan girl right now. I am so freaking thankful of the PD of KBS2 TV School Variety, 100 Points Out of 100 Points for doing this to satisfy the curiosity of all fan girls all around the world. Half the casts of the variety show broke into FT Island's house to wake Hongki up for their Membership Training trip. Oh, I am so thankful Seunghyun and Minhwan are still asleep too.

No, there are no chance of seeing leader and bassist together though. They are no where to be found. They must have been somewhere else, or just still sleeping soundly in the comfort of their own locked room of which either Super Junior's Eunhyuk or SHINee's Minho could break in. The cutest part when Seunghyun hid in embarrassment when the three girls greeted him when he was on bed. Seunghyun, you never fail to make me smile all day long.

Seunghyun sleeps without his pants on, the same goes to Hongki. Minhwan on the other hand sleeps without his shirt on, which I find very cute indeed. God, I will do anything to break into FT Island's house right now. To have the members sleeping half naked—oh God, save me from my wild imagination.
